Wolchowstock found at a local show

[landsknechte]

 

Stumbled  across a Wolchowstock at a local show, and I couldn't pass it up.  I'm intrigued by the "HN" carved on the bottom.  I'm assuming those were the initials of the owner or the artist.  As best I can tell, there are no corresponding characters in the Cyrillic alphabet, suggesting it's not the signature of a Russian.  The miniature 1914 standing in for a Knight's Cross is borderline cute.  There's also another cross carved into the figure representing a Knight's Cross.

 

(Were there any Knight's Cross recipients that bore a strong resemblance to that face they found on Mars?)
